AZALEAS
- do best in full sun, will tolerate light shade
- are sensitive to extreme heat (avoid south side of buildings)
- have shallow root systems that dry out rapidly
- benefit from watering, so good drainage is a must
- require acid soil for best growth
- benefit from compost, manure, sawdust, or peatmoss
before planting
- should not be planted too deep;
roots form in the upper 4 to 6"
- need fertilizer in spring or early summer
- need an organic mulch to retain
water during dry periods
